neil 2,409 #1 Posted January 11, 2012 I have just aquired an original price & specification list for an RJ 59 it is from the original dealer that sold the tractor to a customer back in Sept 1959 I thought you US guys woul;d like to see it . Im not sure what the monetry exchange rate would have been back in 1959 , Hope you enjoy the pics 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #2 Posted January 11, 2012 Very cool.... from what I can find, the exchange rate for the GBP to USD was consistent at 1 GBP=$2.80 USD at that time. So, the RJ in that listing would be equivalent to $518 USD. I'd guess probably some shipping cost / import taxes raising the price compared to the US price of the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
